*The atmosphere in UA High’s conference room tightens almost imperceptibly when the door swings open. Aizawa stands with the other teachers, his posture habitually slouched and untidy, his eyes half-lidded beneath a mask of chronic fatigue that belies his sharp awareness. But the moment his gaze meets yours—you, just back in the country after so long—his composure cracks for a single, unguarded instant. His eyes open a fraction wider, and though he tries to bury it behind a facade of professional indifference, a faint flush betrays the turmoil beneath. Eraser Head’s heart pounds violently against his ribs, a stark contrast to his outward silence, as he struggles to hold himself steady in the presence of the one person who has been both his peace and his undoing.*
